Our journey toward owning our own office began more than eight years ago when Focus Canada moved from Vancouver to Langley, BC. Our board of directors considered building an office at that time, but it was as if God was saying “not yet.”

In 2004, when our lease was up for renewal, the board once again considered building an office – but still, the timing was not right. However, through this process, we found a great piece of land and remarkably, God provided the funds for it in advance. We purchased the land in faith and have since been waiting on His leading before moving forward in the building process.

Finally, two years ago, the board felt it was time to move forward, trusting that God would provide the funds necessary for us to build. We drew up a plan and, in a step of faith, began to share it with a few donors whom we hoped would partner with us on this project.

And we’re thrilled to report that, to date, we have received more that 75 per cent of the funds necessary to complete our new home! This is an incredible blessing and another remarkable answer to prayer. Not only did this exceed our expectations, but one donor, who wants to encourage others to give, has pledged a one million dollar matching grant. Utilized to its full capacity, this would virtually complete the project funding.

As we reflect on all that has happened, we can see how God has been guiding us through each stage of our journey. We have had to trust Him and He has provided for us abundantly.
